- 5-6Strong
- 7-8Intense

- 7-8Intense
- 9-10Extreme

- 3-4Moderate
- 5-6Strong

Horror that gets in your head: paranoia, madness, doubting what's real and ideas that stay with you. Not how a scene looks (Creepy) or feels in the moment (Suspense).
Psychological 6.0 is strong (5-6 on the scale):
- Paranoia, madness or a story that makes you question what's real
- A big part of the film, and it stays with you afterwards
- 1-2Mild
- 3-4Moderate
- 5-6Strong
- 7-8Intense
- 9-10Extreme
How the overall score of 5.2 is worked out
A film's three strongest kinds of scare count, with some weighted. Averages bunch up in the middle, so the result is then spread out from the average across every rated film.
- Each kind of scare is weighted: gore loses a point, and creepy and jumpscares gain one.
- Gore 4.0 − 1 = 3.0
- Creepy 4.0 + 1 = 5.0
- Jumpscares 4.0 + 1 = 5.0
- Suspense 5.0, unchanged
- Psychological 6.0, unchanged
- The average of the 3 highest (creepy, jumpscares, psychological): (5.0 + 5.0 + 6.0) ÷ 3 = 5.3.
- The average film scores 5.4, and the gap from it counts 2 times, so scores use the whole scale: 5.4 + (5.3 − 5.4) × 2 = 5.2.
